Veterinary Services

Veterinary Services was formed in June 2015 to help animals and people in need. Our values reflect deep dedication to animals and their owners. We value the human-animal bond and truly enjoy watching it blossom and grow. Pets are our passion, large and small, all shapes and sizes. We pledge to our clients to educate and provide excellence in service by treating every client with honesty, clarity, and respect – always! K2 uses Dr. Brophy as our exclusive veterinarian.

Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch

The heart of our Session Program is to provide a safe place for children, horses and families to experience hope, healing and encouragement. In each session, through a myriad of methods, there is one main purpose—to Mentor the Child.

This is accomplished by inviting children to come just as they are. The leaders of Crystal Peaks work hard to pair kids with an activity or horse that will encourage them forward toward hope and personal growth.

"We are so thankful for Keith and Katherine and the K2 Equestrian Center for their expertise and their generosity: for being there for us all when we were at the end of our rope, for helping us to believe that solutions could exist after so many years of dead ends, and for welcoming our daughter to their ranch and being the pivot point from which things finally started looking up."

"As a parent of a child with autism, our family loves K2 Ranch. Not only does the Ranch help our daughter with sensory overload and social skills, we get more positive outcomes at home, based on her willingness to work and have time at the Ranch. It's a win-win situation. She works hard when she's not at the Ranch, so she will be able to go see the animals. She learns social skills and her executive functioning improves, based on her ability to organize tasks and remember a certain order procedures, like putting away tools. We have noticed a huge improvement and are so grateful to Katherine and Keith for their continued support of our daughter's growth."
